AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

237 PM CDT FRI MAY 4 2012

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 235 PM CDT FRI MAY 4 2012

SEVERE CONVECTION IN SHORT TERM SHOULD BE CONFINED TO MAINLY
NORTH/EAST THRU PM HEATING HOURS. ACTIVE SVR WARNINGS/WATCH
ONGOING.

AFTER THAT...STILL ANTICIPATE SMALLISH CHANCES INTO/THRU THE
WEEKEND...AS BOUNDARY WOBBLES/REMAINS MIRED UNDERNEATH PARALLEL
UPPER FLOW THAT IS RUNNING NWLY-SELY ACROSS MAINLY OUR NORTHEAST
PTNS FA. THIS ALONG WITH RIDGING IN THE WEST SHOULD MAKE POPS
MOST FAVORABLE IN OUR NORTH/EAST...LEAST SO IN OUR SOUTH/WEST.
WARM/HUMID SUMMER-LIKE AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE THRU THE WEEKEND.

NOTE THE LAKE WIND ADVISORY WAS DROPPED TODAY AS WINDS NEVER
REALLY WERE ABLE TO GET GOING WITH PERHAPS A LITTLE MORE CLOUD
COVER THAN ANTICIPATED.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 235 PM CDT FRI MAY 4 2012

MON FROM 12Z ON IS EXPECTED TO BE WET AS LARGE SCALE FORCING AND
MOISTURE ADVECTION WILL BE UNDERWAY DUE TO A COLD FRONT MOVING
THROUGH THE PAH FCST AREA. SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL BE COMMON...WITH
BASIN AVERAGE QPFS A HALF INCH OR LESS. THERE IS SOME POSSIBILITY OF
SEVERE WEATHER WITH THE TSTM ACTIVITY. BY 12Z TUE...ALL BUT THE FAR
ERN COUNTIES SHOULD BE FREE OF PCPN. THE 00Z ECMWF DEPICTED A CLOSED
MID LEVEL LOW MOVING THROUGH THE REGION ON WED...BUT THE 12Z VERSION
DID NOT CONTAIN THIS...AND WAS IN AGREEMENT WITH THE MAJORITY OF MED
RANGE GUIDANCE. THUS...IT IS BELIEVED THAT DRY NWRLY FLOW WILL BE
PROMINENT ENOUGH TO PRECLUDE MEASURABLE PCPN THROUGH DAY 7. WITH
THIS PATTERN...EXPECT A COOLER AND LESS HUMID TREND.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 235 PM CDT FRI MAY 4 2012

VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL WELL INTO THE NIGHT ACROSS THE PAH FCST
AREA. SRLY LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL CONTINUE...LETTING UP LATE IN THE
NIGHT ENOUGH TO POSSIBLY RESULT IN MVFR FOG. THERE ARE SOME
INDICATIONS THAT THE NERN CORNER OF THE REGION...INCLUDING THE
KEVV/KOWB TERMINALS...MAY BE AFFECTED BY A LATE NIGHT MCS. THIS TSTM
POSSIBILITY HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THOSE TAFS.
